Baby #4 - if it's a beautiful boy

Hi all,

We've already got three children - Harriet (7) and twins Joseph and Abigail (4) - and we thought that was going to be that. Once the twins started school, the plan was for me to go back to work part time, but it seems nature got in the way and we've ended up expecting another baby again, due in March. We don't know the gender yet, and I'm not sure whether we're going to find out, we did with the twins but not with our eldest.

We want something a bit classic with a cute nickname, and these are the ones we've come up with so far.

Maxwell
Elliot (hubby loves this but I think it's too close to Harriet - thoughts?)
Samuel
William
Oliver
Edward
Matthew

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Can't use Toby (our cat) or Charlie, Thomas, Jack, Frankie, Freddie as already taken by family though.

Maxwell - Feels a bit more trendy than your other kids' names but solid enoughElliot (hubby loves this but I think it's too close to Harriet - thoughts?) - I think it's too close to Harriet too with the repeated -et/-ot ending, unfortunately - lovely name though.Samuel - Lovely, Joseph and Samuel are very classic, handsome brothersWilliam - Nice but possibly a little too formal with your other kids' names, what nickname would you use?Oliver - LoveOliver with your sibset, a great pick.Edward - Ditto WilliamMatthew - What do you nickname Harriet? Matt and Hattie are too close for siblings if you use that for her.
